About

Hawthorne Preschool Academy provides a safe, developmentally appropriate, child-centered approach that promotes a nurturing, caring, and accepting environment, fostering social, emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual growth. Our hope is children will learn the love of God and share that love with others. Our curriculum builds children's self esteem, problem solving skills and respect for others, as well as self confidence, love of learning and kindergarten readiness. We strive to provide a healthy balance of child-directed and teacher-guided activities, recognizing all children learn at their own pace. We understand families are an integral part of the educational process and parent involvement is actively encouraged and welcomed.

Our teachers meet the Virginia Department of Social Services criteria for regulating licensed preschools and have degrees and experience working with children. We utilize a nationally recognized curriculum, the Learning Box, which promotes Kindergarten Readiness and meets Virginia's Foundation Blocks for Early Learning Comprehensive Standards for Four-Year-Olds.

Philosophy StatementHawthorne Preschool Academy is dedicated to providing a warm, nurturing, loving environment where children can learn and grow.
